This past September, you might remember our Joyous Night At The Movies event in Toronto where Joyous Health partnered with The Superfood Chain to preview this incredible documentary! I have been working with the team at Fathom Film Group (who are the people responsible for bringing The Superfood Chain documentary to life) for the past year because I strongly believe the message they are sharing needs to get out to the masses.

It’s why we brought Ann Shinn, the filmmaker behind The Superfood Documentary, to talk more about this on the Joyous Health podcast today, and more specifically, the impact that our superfood shopping habits have on the world and people around us. 

Ann is an award-winning Director and Producer known for beautiful, compelling documentary films, series, and innovative interactive projects. Her films and series have aired on CBC, TVO, HBO, ABC, CBC The Documentary Channel, Discovery Channel, HGTV, History Channel, SLICE. 

Listen to the episode

In this episode we discuss:

  • How Ann Shinn paved her way in the filmmaking industry
  • The challenge in putting personal biases aside as a filmmaker 
  • The art of letting the truth of a story unfold naturally in a documentary 
  • What inspired The Superfood Chain documentary
  • Do you know where your superfoods actually come from?
  • How the nutritional content of superfoods vary depending on where they’re sourced from
  • The impact on farmer’s to have a new superfood pop up every week
  • Ann’s journey of traveling with her daughters to Bolivia to learn about superfoods 
  • The beauty of using the natural and locally sourced superfoods from where you live
  • How to be mindful and shop for food sustainably 
  • Why you should try to buy smaller fish 
  • The one thing Ann hopes for people to get out of The Superfood Chain
  • Not all fair-trade organizations are created equal
  • What’s next for Ann after The Superfood Chain

  1. a lot of people are getting helped by the lost book of remedies (http://bit.ly/2uYsuDv), truly an interesting and captivating reading experience, everyone should at least have a base of the arguments treated in this book like are treated in this article!

    I remember spending so much money buying drugs from hospitals hoping that i will be cured from HERPES INFECTION, but all to no avail. I contacted so many  doctors and they prescribed medicine for me which they indeed tried their best but was unable to provide for me a possible cure, luckily i got to know about a doctor who cured herpes with herbal medicine and i give it try and today am happy that i made that decision and its has now downed on me now that herbal medicine is the only solution to herpes and any other STDs/STIs and other health threatening related diseases/infections you can get your cure today from Dr Akhere Herbal Home call/whatsapp 2347085994115 or visit his website to know more about his products and get your cure (http://drakhereherbalhome.wixsite.com/website) online. just as i did .good luck to you all.
